"Stocks rebound"--as if they will get back up there if we all just wish REALLY hard...

So far, the markets are going up and then down, up a little less, then down a little more...this is a bear market--that means the general trend is going to be down for some time (figure 7-10 months, maybe less if governments get their acts together )
